How cool that it will open on your birthday, Elizabeth! We are thinking about coming but not sure when. Would love to see Tom again and we were unable to make it to London for Travesties when it was there.

I'm already looking at Cunard sailings from Southampton...

lintu public tickets are not on sale yet, sign up to hear when they are. Theatre members / donors get priority booking though, more info here (text copied below but is unhyperlinked as it only copies text).

Tickets for Travesties will go on sale to the general public at a later date. Subscribers and donors get first access to tickets and other special benefits.

Or join our email club and get special news and offers, plus the opportunity to get tickets before the general public.

First access to the best tickets and VIP experiences are available to members of the Chairman’s Circle. Join online now or call us at 212.719.1300.

My only experience of US ticket-buying comes from watching the (excellent) sitcom Frasier which suggests that it's fraught with all sorts of comedic problems that I hope to avoid haha.

The website that was used for the Apollo run (www.travestiesplay.com/) and Twitter (twitter.com/travestiesplay) could certainly be used again, perhaps these will be handed over to the US team to manage. At the moment the 'Book now' link on that website is pointing to Nimax theatres in the UK and not the US one. Perhaps nearer the time...

Recommended hashtag is #TravestiesPlay. #Travesties is already in use and is a bit NSFW (not safe for work).

Ooooh there are two Westbound transatlantic crossings that coincide with the Broadway run! The first arrives on 17 MAY (M817), a Thursday, and the second arrives 10 JUNE (M820B), a Sunday. The next one after that is cutting it a bit fine as it arrives on 1 July and I think the production is closed by then.

The numbers in brackets are to help me later when / if I come to book one of them!

I think I'd rather arrive on a Thursday so May is looking good, but I'd also rather arrive in June so there's that too. Hmm. Also May is cheaper, and possibly a bit cooler.

Seven nights at sea, followed by a play I now know really well starring Tom. That's like the best holiday evs.

This is where the theatre, sorry theater, is www.google.co.uk/maps/place/American+Airlines+Theatre/@40.7567628,-73.9903586,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c25854a3f7ac6f:0xbbd1bceba3578e4!8m2!3d40.7567628!4d-73.9881699
